Maximum Pace

I have been unable to get my stuff together enough to post rides altogether recently and this is very little exception, but here you go:

Start time: 8:00am @Hino station Distance 135km Total assent: this is a new ride for me but it looks to be realistically around 1800m. Stops: water stops along the road, brief lunch. Average speed: around 24km

Okutama lake offers some of the most scenic riding, and the climbing is gradual yet consistent. After the lake it is all new to me and possibly you, but all is mapped out and the route in general looks mildly challenging. All climbs are W.A.T.T. (wait at the top) so this is pretty friendly. There are bail-out points along the Okutama highway (JR line), please take your food with you for the ride, there will be a stop for lunch at a yet undetermined place (new route).
